Bird

Reality

“Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.”

T.S. Eliot

(The Dutch author Frans Kellendonk used these lines as an introduction to his novella “The Truth and Ms. Kazinczy”)

Bu it’s undoubtedly true, we cannot bear much reality. In general people tend to think, often unconsciously: the less the better.
